New Delhi, Dec 11 (IANS) Most wanted auto-lifter, who used to steal bikes only for joyrides, was held in Delhi’s Dwarka District.
A senior police officer said that the accused used to do the crime only for pleasure. Ten stolen vehicles were recovered from him.

We formed a team and laid a trap to catch the accused. The police asked him to slow down the vehicle but instead he accelerated and tried to run away. The police chased him for half a kilometre and caught him,” the police said.
